Truth In Broadcasting


Daily Kos: "Go F' Yourself, Mr. Cheney!"

"Do you get that a lot, Mr. Cheney?"
He replied, "That's the first time I've heard it.


Today perhaps. These guys can't tell the truth about anything. It's not like he hasn't used the same phrase himself. When he said "Must be a friend of John er.. uh.. never mind." you have to wonder which John he was referring to. I'll cling to the belief he was refering to me...yea, right. This thread suggests that we mass e-mail this message to 'da Veep, but as much as I like the idea I have this paranoiac fear of secret service or IRS retribution.

Predictably, I didn't see this on the network news shows. They used the clip, but cut away just before it happened. NewsHour on PBS did mention "the obscenity" incident, and of course Jon Stewart had to include it on The Daily Show. His take? "Appears the go f yourself-er has become the go f yourself-ee". And I loved his comments about the called for "Day Of Prayer" which is part of Bush's responce. "Isn't a hurricane an act of God? Shouldn't this be a day of shunning?" Some pretty astute comments with Brian Williams as well. This guy is at the top of his game. Can't wait to see next week's "Evolution Smevolution" series!
